Thanks in large part to freshman Kassidy Kimpling, Woodland-Flanagan-Cornell rallied over the final two innings to post a 5-3 Tri-County Conference softball victory over host Marquette Tuesday afternoon.

Katie Starkey gave up three runs, one earned, in the second and third innings as WFC fell behind 3-0. She finished with seven strikeouts while walking two and giving up four hits.

The Warriors made Starkey a winner with five runs in the final two frames.

WFC tied it at 3-3 with a trio of tallies in the sixth. Sydney Walker singled to lead off the frame and moved to third on Kylie Murphy’s one-out double. Kimpling followed with a two-base hit that drove in Walker and Murphy.

Kimpling scored the tying run Randi Rogers reached on an error.

Kimpling provided the big hit in the seventh inning when her two-base hit plated Walker and Sara Spaniol. Both had reached with singles.

Walker had three hits to lead WFC’s nine-hit attack. Kimpling had two doubles and four runs batted in while Spaniol also had two hits. Murphy doubled and Addie Kirchner singled.

The Warriors are slated to be back in action Thursday at Henry-Senachwine in another Tri-County Conference contest.
